GAS PROPOSED
FORALLIANCE
Gas Construction Company May Ask
for Franchise to Install and
Operate Plant Here
J. C. Martin of Omaha, represent
ing the Gas Construction Company,
builders of the Oaten compact proc-ess-carburetted
water gas systems. Is
In Alliance this week looking over
the city and making some Investiga
tions with a view to asking the city
council to grant a franchise for the
construction and operating of a gas
plant here. Mr. Martin expresses
himself as being favorably Impress
ed with the city but had not fully de
cided yet this morning whether he
would ask for the franchise, altho it
Is probable that he will.
The system that will be used by
the Gas Construction Co.. if they
Install a plant here, will be the same
that is in use in Omaha, Denver and
most of the other large cltieB of this
country, as well as some of the small
er ones. A plant of this kind was
Installed at Broken How last sum
mer and is said to be giving satisfac
tion. The Herald cannot give full de
tails of the plan in this Issue, but
will atld that it is expected, if install
ed, the pas will not materially reduce
the amount of electricity consumed.
The need of pas in Alliance is not for
lighting purposes particularly, but
for cooking, heating and power.
Electricity for cooking and heating
has been talked of from time to time
in Alliance, but as a matter of fact
,the cost has been prohibitive for gen
eral use for those purposes. !as is
safer, more convenient and cheaper
'than gasoline, the use of which for
those purposes it supplants in cities
i having gas plants.
I Want Ground D iiamittsl
! J. 1. Ilarger went to Hemingford
on Monday, returning yesterday.
'While there he took orders for fruit
and shade trees amounting to $76,
.and contracted to dynamite the
ground for planting them. Some
who had ordered nursery stock from
other parties encaged Mr. Barger to
dynamite ground for them.

WARNING TO CITIZENS
Apparently many citizens of Alli
ance allow trash to accumulate on
their premises with an Idea that a
"clean-up" day will be designated
for th- city to remove It. There I"
no oilieial clt-an-up day for the city
of Alliance but every day is clean-up
day f" the citizens tc whom we want
to lsrue a final warning. The city
ordinances with regard to these mat
ters Hre very plain and the health
conditions of the city are more to be
conri lered than anything else. Re
fuse, accumulating, is almost certain
to spread disease, especially typhoid
and other malarial diseases which
make it an offense punishable by fine
to permit refuse or filth, to accumu
late on vacant lots or In alleys,
